"Corniglia Coast at Sunrise", Cinque Terre, Italy. 24x30 cm, acrylic on canvas, $280.

We have been on Italian time for the past weeks. That means taking a siesta, then eating dinner late, walking back to our apartments with Gelato by 11ish. Then winding down takes an hour and our kids absolutely have to read or do their join aka before sleeping. So if the lights are of by 12:30 we're lucky. Since the sun rises before 6am I haven't gotten up to capture enough of them. Since we where leaving Manarola this day, I had to do one if the coast going north towards the next town. I hiked up the terraces through a few vineyards and was completely alone for a couple hours. I had only the birds and the crashing waves with me. Every time I do muster the strength to do this, I always wonder why I'm not doing it more often. Oh yea, I need to sleep.
